Cherry blossoms near the Hashidate Chaya or tea house.

Rent a bike and cycle to one of the beaches for a picnic.

Amanohashidate is not known for cherry trees, but for its iconic sand spit walkway lined with pine trees, some of which are over a century old and have inspired poets and writers alike.

The odd cherry blossom for those who have a keen eye.

if you have a sharp eye, you can see the occasional cherry tree, especially a bunch of them in the southern part of the spit, where there is a cafe and a shrine as well. It makes for a perfect place to have a picnic by the beach or under the cherry blossoms.

It is very peaceful and soothing to walk or cycle around here. I took lots of photos here, it was like a virtual go-pro from a cyclist's viewpoint of Amanohashidate. Thank you for your comments Justin, Odilia and Katie!

There are many scenic pics of this famous scenery, but you captured what it is like moving around the area. It is nice to have this realistic viewpoint to imagine what a trip is like.
